At the Wake of the Dead Drag Queen
MAY 7 – MAY 31
Set in 2004, At the Wake of a Dead Drag Queen alternates between the wake of deceased Drag Queen Courtney Berringers and scenes of her life and romantic journey with aspiring drag performer Vickie Versailles. This play utilizes traditional storytelling, drama, and drag performances to explore themes of Black identity, southern queerness, HIV/AIDS, poverty, illness, and the construction of self. It’s a vibrant, often hilarious, but ultimately moving celebration of life, community, and the power of drag as an art form and a means of survival.
